National Museum of Korea

Chiaki left this morning, catching the early flight back to Tokyo to bring her ridiculously short vacation to a close. I slept in before checking out of the hotel and beginning my long solo trip back to Japan. The past few days have been very much a vacation for me with Chiaki. I was playing the part of the camera toting tourist which I enjoy from time to time. Now starts the journey home, my overland and sea trip back to Tokyo that I’ve been planning for over a year.

With an afternoon to kill, I headed to the National Museum of Korea. As a museum buff I really enjoyed this vast building and well-organized exhibits. While the movies are in Korean, about 90% of the displays and historical explanations are also in English. This is a great place to spend a few hours.

At five I departed for Gwangju in the southwestern corner of the peninsula to meet up with my buddy Scott for a few days, including New Year’s festivities.
